Immobiliser Problems

Immobiliser issues are usually the reason for an automobile not starting. This system ensures that the key that you use to start the car is the right one. This is accomplished by sending an electrical signal to an antenna inside the ignition switch. Then, the signal is sent to engine's computer. If the code in the ECU matches the key's then the car will begin. If it doesn't match, then different actions are blocked to prevent the car from starting.

The immobiliser light typically flashes when the wrong key is used but in some older cars this only happens occasionally. This is because the key fobs on these cars split open instead folding away like modern flip keys. As a result, the tiny chip at the end of the key could drop out. It looks a bit like an unfinished piece of plastic, yet it's crucial to the immobiliser system.

This can cause several problems, but the most common is that the ECU is not convinced that the key is the correct one and will allow it to spin the starter motor. The best solution is to get a good auto locksmith to program the new key to the vehicle, which will resolve this.

Request the dealer to examine the wiring first using an electronic diagnostic scanner before you decide to bring your vehicle to them. This will ensure that the issue is with the immobiliser and not something different. If it is, they can "virginize" the ECU and allow the new key to be programmed.
